3、migrant from Britain with his wife and two children。He worked hard，played hard，and had an opinion about everything。He adored his wife，his family，and his friends。A slim and energetic man,George took pride in his fitness and walked three kilometres every day。As the only male in a painting class full o

4、f women，George ruled the roost and we were his hens。He adored his singular role and looked after his brood(一窝雏鸡） with the same attention he gave to everything。He took to painting with great passion（热情），even transforming the spare bedroom into a studio。A studio！His painting equipment was comprehensiv

5、e。Ever practical，George housed many of these items in a red metal tool box。After the completion of the course，we still kept in touch。One day when George was about 80 years old，he asked me to come to his house。George explained that he was giving up painting because of his illness and he gave away all

6、 his “stuff” to me。I still use much of his equipment today。The most treasured thing is the red tool box.The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has long since worn off.But thats all right because to my mind friendship is beyond price。21Why did the author go to painting

10、hostile situation prove beneficial?Consider how parents typically react when they cant get their children to stop quarreling：“I dont care who started itboth of you，go to your rooms！At first sight，a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective。But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows,parents s

11、eemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect.Children who moments before were troubling each other suddenly become more reasonable due to their unkind parents。In our research,we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part of a heated conflict。In some ca

12、ses，the mediator had a “nice approach-calm and polite.In others，he was hostileaggressive and somewhat rude。Across different types of conflicts，we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.The main

13、result of the test is not that hostility pays off。In fact，recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior.For example，being the target of rude behavior reduces peoples performance on a variety of tasks.Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior。People are more

18、over the material again，copying notes，etc.But these methods of remembering are not always helpful。People remember more when actively taking part in their learning rather than passively receiving it.One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material。Come up with questions about the topic,an
